The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States

Here they are. All of them mention slavery, although they surround it with arguments about "states rights" and the Constitution.

The readers can decide for themselves.

Yes as I said, only 4 issued declarations of causes. 3 of the 4 mentioned things other than slavery. (I notice this does not include the address of Robert Barnwell Rhett for South Carolina...which is very disingenuous as it was sent out along with the Address).

Here is the Corwin Amendment.

Readers can decide for themselves why the 7 original seceding states turned down slavery effectively forever by express constitutional amendment if protection of slavery had really been their main concern.
